Special Needs Volunteers

Make a difference! Be a buddy to a very special person! CRPA offers numerous therapeutic programs serving children and adults with special needs. We offer many different programs throughout the year, such as tennis, basketball, bowling, soccer and multiple weekly camps.

The CRPA is looking for volunteers to assist in these classes and camps. Volunteers can work during the day or for a few hours at night. Volunteers would become a buddy to a particular child. This is a great way to complete community service, get involved within the community or to just make a difference. If you are interested or would like more information, please call Kim Watt at (770) 924-7768 or watt@crpa.net.
